Zvuk kiše koja pada na krov šatora probudio je Lovru.

The sound of rain falling on the tent roof woke Lovro.

Pogledao je kroz prozorčić šatora i ugledao sive oblake nad Plitvičkim jezerima.

He looked through the tent window and saw gray clouds over the Plitvička jezera.

Bio je Uskrs i trebao je biti savršen dan za planinarenje i istraživanje slapova.

It was Easter and it was supposed to be a perfect day for hiking and exploring the waterfalls.

Ipak, Lovro je osjećao nelagodu.

Yet Lovro felt uneasy.

Nervoza zbog budućnosti često mu je oduzimala san.

Anxiety about the future often deprived him of sleep.

Mateja je tiho pripremala fotoaparat.

Mateja was quietly preparing her camera.

Voljela je slikati prirodu, a sljedeće fotografije htjela je iskoristiti za izložbu.

She loved photographing nature, and she wanted to use the next photos for an exhibition.

Ali, stalno je mislila na svoju nesigurnu poslovnu situaciju.

But she constantly thought about her uncertain job situation.

Biti bez stabilnog posla bilo je teško.

Being without a stable job was difficult.

Ivana je, uvijek optimistična, tražila načine kako motivirati prijatelje.

Ivana, always optimistic, looked for ways to motivate her friends.

"Hej, nije tako strašno", rekla je s osmijehom, "kiša će uskoro stati, vidjet ćete!

"Hey, it's not so bad," she said with a smile, "the rain will soon stop, you'll see!"

"Odlučili su pričekati malo da kiša prestane, no Lovro je bio nestrpljiv.

They decided to wait a bit for the rain to stop, but Lovro was impatient.

"Ne možemo čekati zauvijek", rekao je.

"We can't wait forever," he said.

"Idemo na vidikovac.

"Let's go to the viewpoint.

Možda ćemo uhvatiti nešto posebno.

Maybe we'll catch something special."

"Krenuli su prema vidikovcu, kiša još nije prestala.

They headed towards the viewpoint, the rain hadn't stopped yet.

Miris mokre zemlje i svježih proljetnih cvjetova ispunjavao je zrak.

The smell of wet earth and fresh spring flowers filled the air.

Lovro je vodio grupu kroz stazu, svjestan izazova.

Lovro led the group along the path, aware of the challenge.

Mokra staza bila je skliska, ali Lovro nije posustajao.

The wet path was slippery, but Lovro didn't falter.

Njegova želja da snimi savršenu fotografiju bila je snažnija od straha od nevremena.

His desire to capture the perfect photo was stronger than his fear of the bad weather.

Kad su stigli na vidikovac, kiša je počela slabiti.

When they reached the viewpoint, the rain started to lighten.

Prijatelji su zaprepašteno gledali kako se sivi oblaci polako povlače, a sunčeve zrake probijaju kroz oblake.

The friends watched in awe as the gray clouds slowly pulled away and sunbeams broke through.

U daljini, iznad slapova, pojavila se dvostruka duga.

In the distance, above the waterfalls, a double rainbow appeared.

Lovro je brzim pokretima pripremio fotoaparat i uhvatio taj čarobni trenutak.

Lovro quickly prepared his camera and captured that magical moment.

Bio je sretan.

He was happy.

Sjedili su na mokroj travi i uživali u malom pikniku dok je sunce sijalo jače.

They sat on the wet grass and enjoyed a small picnic while the sun shone brighter.

Ivana je podijelila uskrsna jaja, simbol novih početaka.

Ivana shared Easter eggs, a symbol of new beginnings.

Dok su jeli jednostavan obrok, njihove brige činile su se dalekima.

As they ate a simple meal, their worries seemed distant.

"Vidite", rekao je Lovro, "ponekad nas nesigurnost dovede do najljepših iskustava.

"You see," said Lovro, "sometimes uncertainty leads us to the most beautiful experiences."

"Mateja se nasmijala, gledajući kroz objektiv svog fotoaparata.

Mateja laughed, looking through her camera lens.

"Priroda nas uvijek iznenadi", dodala je.

"Nature always surprises us," she added.

Na svom povratku, trojka se osjećala zahvalno.

On their way back, the trio felt grateful.

Kiša im nije pokvarila dan, već im je pokazala da ljepota uvijek dolazi nakon oluje.

The rain hadn't spoiled their day; instead, it showed them that beauty always comes after a storm.

Lovro je shvatio da se suočavanje s nepoznatim često isplati i donosi radost i ljepotu koju nismo očekivali.

Lovro realized that facing the unknown often pays off and brings joy and beauty we didn't expect.

Priroda Plitvičkih jezera, iako promjenjiva, bila je savršeno pozornica za novu perspektivu života, u proljeće punom obećanja.

The nature of the Plitvička jezera, though changeable, was the perfect stage for a new perspective on life, in a spring full of promise.
